Tennessee SOPAS

FEBRUARY 23-26, 2011 AT CAMP HICKORY HILLS

We are excited as the first School of Practical and Advanced Studies is planned for the state of Tennessee.  Each of the classes featured will be taught by seasoned, well-prepared instructors.

General Principles of Pastoral Leadership Development I will be taught by Bishop Mark Menke, a principle instructor for the International Center for Biblical Leadership.  I can honestly say that Mark is one of the “best” teachers I’ve studied under, and I believe his knowledge of the subject, sense of humor and genuine love for the Lord will make this class a memorable one.

 

Ecclesial Identity Church of God of Prophecy History and Polity I will be taught by Bishop Adrian Varlack, a principle instructor for the International Center for Biblical Leadership.  Bishop Varlack is no stranger to anyone who has been associated with the Church of God of Prophecy Internationally.  As a former World Mission Secretary (now known as Global Outreach Director) the work of the church was expanded and strengthened.  This is a man that I have the utmost of respect for and believe that his spiritual depth and genuine love will be evident.  Don’t miss this special time with Bishop Varlack.

 

Theology—Doctrinal Principles of the Church of God of Prophecy will be taught by Dr. Hector Ortiz, Director of the Center for Biblical Leadership.  Dr. Ortiz has been a strong proponent for educational development of our ministers, and has led by example in his own development, and the driving force for the Gordon Conwell Seminary Consortium implementation, the leader of leaders program for the Church of God of Prophecy.  Dr. Ortiz has also served as a Presiding Bishop of several states.  You will learn a new appreciation for our movement theology, and will be blessed by the anointed teaching and times of spiritual refreshing that often accompanies these classes.

I am convinced you will be blessed, encouraged and strengthened by the classes and the times of fellowship with your peers in ministry.  All classes include class handouts, lodging at the campground, all meals and snacks.

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
